Chapter 842 Promissory Notes Stolen
Ding Yu said: "To be honest, I don't know much about commercial value. But..."
Ding Yu looked around and confirmed that it was difficult for people nearby to hear their conversation, so he continued: "But I am a member of the organization after all. Over the past year, the organization has also evaluated the commercial value of my project. First The valuation of a round of financing cannot be less than one billion U.S. dollars, which is the definition given by the organization. If this project can achieve true commercialization and marketization, it should not be less than a market size of 100 billion U.S. dollars. Therefore, I am optimistic. We are still very confident about this project.”
Shi Lei waved his hand and said: "I'm not doubting the value of your project. I'm just telling you that when you complete the final breakthrough and successfully transform the research institute into a company, you can start focusing on putting this project on the market. The actual valuation is likely to be higher than you originally expected, so you will not regret this 10% share.”
Ding Yu shook his head repeatedly, as if he was afraid that Shi Lei would be suspicious of him. He said: "Mr. Shi, you must not worry too much. No matter what kind of feedback the capital market will give us when this project is in the angel round of financing, don't say three One billion euros, even if the direct valuation exceeds 10 billion, I will never regret giving you 10% of the shares. I know very well that without your participation, I probably would not be able to establish this company at all, Ferryman. You will never let me go so easily."
Shi Lei nodded, expressing satisfaction with Ding Yu's gesture.
He took out the envelope from his pocket and pulled out the cashier's check inside.
Pushing Ding Yu in front of him, Shi Lei said, "This is the second phase of R&D funds for your institute."
Ding Yu picked it up, looked at it, and put it down casually. He said, "Thank you, Mr. Shi. Actually, Mr. Shi, you really don't have to do this. I originally wanted to give away the 10% of the shares...wait... ..." Ding Yu suddenly realized something was wrong. He took the cashier's note in his hand again, looked at it carefully, and said in shock: "Thirty million?"
Shi Lei nodded and said: "We agreed that I will give you eleven million US dollars in exchange for 10% of the shares after establishing the company. It was not very convenient last time and the cash was not too much. , I can only give you three million as an emergency first."
Ding Yu said quickly: "We haven't used up these three million soft girl coins yet."
Shi Lei shook his finger and said with a smile: "I heard from Yao Er that your current research and development process will be largely restricted by funds, and you don't have much funds on hand, so you have been burning money in a very controlled way. This is not What I want to see is that you don’t care about money, but speed up the research and development process as much as possible.”
Ding Yu's eyes were a little dull. This was something he had never seen before. Investors were urging them to spend money.
"You know, the research you are currently engaged in can not only achieve your achievements, but can also make those scientists who have been doing scientific research all their lives no longer have to worry about anything. Once the results of this research are released, it will definitely be a great development for the process of human evolution. Promotion. Therefore, I will give you 30 million this time, and you can burn it for no more than three months. I will give you another 30 million until the company is established, and I will use this 11 million. I’ll give you the rest of the dollars.”
Shi Lei tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a pleasant sound. He continued: "I hope that the funds I provide you will enable you to break through the final bottleneck as soon as possible."
Ding Yu stood up and said excitedly to Shi Lei: "Mr. Shi, I originally came to you just to find a safe haven. I didn't expect that you are the one who really understands us. Only you can't give everything to you." All eyes are on possible future profits. What you think is exactly the same as what we think. Yes, this is the most exciting breakthrough in the history of human evolution. I believe that once our research is put on the market. , will inevitably attract the attention of all superpowers. By then, they will invest a lot of money in the research of human genes. Maybe we will never be able to achieve the level of Marvel heroes, but we can be closer to those superpowers."
Shi Lei found that it was really difficult to communicate with such a scientific madman, because if you were not careful, you would ignite the fire in his heart.
"Okay, okay, this is a public place. Look, what you said has scared the other guests."
Ding Yu then realized that something was wrong with his state, but after sitting down, he still said sincerely to Shi Lei: "Thank you, Mr. Shi."
Shi Lei smiled and waved his hands, and began to concentrate on eating the food in front of him.
After eating, Shi Lei said again: "There is one more thing. Yao Er feels that this kind of project is related to the national system and foreign funds cannot take away the controlling stake. This is similar to your original idea. So I hope that Angel Wheel And the A round, if you can leave it to me completely, I guarantee that the amount of financing will never be lower than the quotation of any European and American company..."
Ding Yu waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, Mr. Shi, you have forgotten that after the company was established, I only served as the technical officer of the R&D department as the major shareholder, and you are the manager of the company. Regarding financing, It’s you who has the final say.”
Shi Lei was very satisfied with the answer and chatted with Ding Yu about the Eyes of Darkness and the Ferryman.
Watching Ding Yu drive away, Shi Lei called Doctor 2 and asked him to arrange a car. Shi Lei was ready to return to Bao'an.
Before Yao Er's car arrived, Shi Lei received another call from Ding Yu.
Shi Lei felt a little strange and answered the phone.
"Mr. Ding, what else do you want?"
The voice over there seemed very anxious and extremely weak...
"Mr. Shi... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I..."
Shi Lei was stunned and immediately thought that there might be something wrong with the promissory note. He immediately asked: "What's going on? Is there something wrong with the promissory note?"
"Mr. Shi, I...I'm really useless...I...I'm sorry for you..."
"Don't be too busy blaming yourself. Tell me the situation quickly."
"I was driving down the mountain just now, but I encountered a car accident on the road. Two cars collided. One of the cars was knocked sideways and blocked the road. I stopped the car and saw someone in the car in front of me coming towards me. Asking for help, I opened the door and got out of the car without thinking much."
Shi Lei frowned. He already roughly knew the complete incident. He knew that he was being targeted, and after the person who targeted him found out that he handed the promissory note to Ding Yu, he He changed his strategy and targeted Ding Yu.
Of course, it is also possible that the person who is targeting him actually knows that Shi Lei is not easy to deal with, and Shi Lei must hand over the promissory note to others. So, they’ve been waiting for the promissory note to change hands…
Ding Yu was still talking: "But I didn't expect that as soon as I got out of the car, the car that was facing me in the car accident suddenly started and hit me directly. I was knocked down by the front of the car, and the car asked me for help The people snatched the cashier's note from me... I tried to stop him, but my leg might be broken and I couldn't stop them at all. Moreover, they knocked me out before they left. I... I... …“
"Did you call the police?"
"I reported it, but, but..."
Shi Lei's heart sank. He knew that the promissory note had been cashed in when Ding Yu was unconscious.
